Running Chicken Nebula
I tried a new technique for star reduction - but no luck on that central star.

I like the colours in this one Mark.

What technique did you use for star reduction ? Was it in PS ? If not I can give you another one to try in PS that tends to be pretty good although I’ve not tried it with a really large star. PM if you’re interested ?

Cheers

Nice work Mark, oh and that bright star is Lambda Centauri and is mag 3 ie. it is meant to be bright, so it doesn't look too bad to me

Thanks Mike - its the perfectly round halo that really bugs me. Any idea how to fix that one?

For giggles I converted to faux-HSO using pixelmath and made a different attempt on Lambda Centauri...
